Boat Lift out - Portsmouth Harbour

[AIDY]

Intend to have the boat taken out of the water just before easter, to have a quick lick of paint, polish and anode change, over a long weekend.

Any recommendations, boats 38foot weight about 10 tonne and we have a draught of 2 metres. Moored in Gosport.

Normally come out at moodys but bit of a trek for a quickie.

Cheers

Could try Gosport boat yard, they have a large crane and I am pretty sure they can handle larger boats like yours. Speak to Chris Haddock, I think for short term lift outs for spit and polish they have a reasonable price. I cant comment yet about their lift (its a big crane) abilities but they took the mast off my boat quite well. Sorry but I dont have their number but they are in the book. Let me know how you get on, my boat is due out end of April for much the same thing..do you know anyone who can sort out a few scrapes on the gelcoat? I suppose after that there is port solent up the river or C and N (but are more the commercial stuff or more expensive).

Kind regards

Simon

Could try Ken Brown boats Camber Dock Portsmouth 02392814246. Reputed to have reasonable prices & to know what they are doing. I'll find out shortly when my boat comes out there!

Thanks Simon, I'll give them a call.

Sorry can't help with a contact for gel coat.

But if its only a small patch and you are quite practical it's quite easy to do yourself. I did a few bits last year, managed to get some Scott Bader gelcoat, correct match for the boat. With a bit of wet n dry and polish came up a treat.

Thanks

Would I be correct in assuming that camber dock is just to the right of the wight link ferry port in portsmouth ?

Gosport Boat Yard may well be the best bet. They do a weekend lift out service. They may be rather busy at this time of year with lots of boats out for the winter. They can also do gelcoat repairs etc.
I have used them for years & my new boat is a similar size to yours.

Guy left this on my boat last year. (No not because it had holes in it)! Someone said he's good.

Thanks for your help guys.

Just booked the boat in at Gosport boat yard, quite a good price to. Even picking the boat up from our berth.
